Softbank's real-time computing power realized by 5G NOMURA plans and displays interactive digital art at 5G X LAB OSAKA (from April 1)

From April 1, 2021, we are planning a space production of the digital art "Immersive Motion" being displays at "5G X LAB OSAKA" in the Osaka City Software Industry Plaza TEQS.・Proposed and provided content production work.

NOMLAB, an open innovation laboratory of NOMURA Group, was in charge of a series of digital productions. This displays is a demonstration of MEC (multi-access edge computing) utilizing the 5th generation mobile communication system (5G) of SoftBank Corp. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Junichi Miyagawa). Content that provides a technical experience. In recent years, live events, tourism/commercial facilities, and museums have increasingly used digital technology to create interactive spaces that match the movements of participants. While it has gained popularity due to its high experience value, it was an issue for the management side that it was necessary to build a large-scale server equipped with a GPU (graphics processing unit) at the displays venue.

Therefore, NOMLAB uses SoftBank's 5G line and cloud rendering by edge computers in SoftBank's data center to distribute the load on the edge side (near displays) without sending all data to the cloud. We planned and developed a digital art that allows you to experience an interactive space production using the MEC mechanism that processes and analyzes data. displays will allow visitors to experience the four major characteristics of this technology: (1) simplification of installation and installation, (2) simplification of operation and operation, (3) low communication latency, and (4) mobility and flexibility of installation locations.
